Replacement Swivel Spindle

This steel swivel spindle replaces worn parts on surface-mount mortise locksets. It measures 9/32" square by 4-3/4" long with a 3/8"-20 thread pitch and includes two removable centers for flexible installation. The satin chrome finish resists corrosion in daily use. Supplied new in a box and keyed different for standard security.

Thread And Fit Constraints

The 3/8"-20 threading only matches locksets cut to that exact pitch, so verify the existing hardware before ordering. The 9/32" square cross-section must align with the lock body and knob hub without modification. Two removable centres allow adjustment, yet the overall length remains fixed at 4-3/4" and cannot be shortened.

Square Dimension Decides Fit

The 9/32" square size is the single specification that determines whether this spindle engages the lock mechanism correctly. If the lockset requires a different square dimension or thread count, this part will not operate the latch. Match the original hardware precisely to avoid binding or free-play.

Questions about this item

Which spindle size fits my mortise lockset?

The 9/32" square by 4-3/4" long steel swivel spindle with 3/8"-20 threading is made as a direct replacement for surface-mount mortise locksets.

What does the 20 threads-per-inch spec mean once installed?

The 20 TPI thread matches the original spindle pitch so the knob or lever engages securely without binding or play in the lock body.

How does the 3/8"-20 thread interface affect compatibility?

The 3/8" diameter with 20 threads per inch is the standard interface for surface-mount mortise locksets, ensuring the two removable centers align and operate correctly.
